Study Notes
Radiological Procedures for Biliary and Reproductive Systems
-
Micturating Cystourethrography (42): Lateral views are used to assess for leaks, evaluate for urinary tract infections, assess bladder filling and for urethral trauma.
-
Distal Ureter Visualization (43): A 5-minute film can improve visualization of distal ureters.
-
Adrenal Mass Characterization (44): Contrast-enhanced CT and 18-F FDG-PET, or contrast-enhanced CT and 18-F DOPA-PET, are alternative imaging modalities to characterize an adrenal mass as potentially malignant.
-
MRI for Urinary Tract (45): T2-weighted spin echo sequence visualizes the fluid-filled structures of the entire urinary tract.
-
Micturating Cystourethrography in Children (46): The primary indication for micturating cystourethrography in children is vesicoureteric reflux.
-
Antiperistaltic Drugs in Prostate MRI (47): Antiperistaltic drugs reduce bowel motion and distortion before prostate MRI.
-
Delayed Thin-Section CT Scans (48): Delayed thin-section scans in CT urogram assess renal parenchymal disease and determine renal artery stenosis.
-
Contraindications to Intravenous Excretion Urography (49): Haematuria, contrast medium allergy, suspected urinary tract pathology are contraindications.
-
Multiparametric MRI Prostate (50): T2, SPIR, DWI, and FLAIR are included.
Additional Radiological Procedures
-
Ascending Urethrography Contraindications (51): Acute urinary tract infection, chronic renal failure, allergy to iodine are contraindications.
-
Renal Imaging Procedure Compression Release (52): Compression is released after the 5-minute film.
-
Urological Diagnosis and Staging (53): Methods include CT adrenals, CT KUB, CT urography, and CT angiography.
-
Intravenous Urography Initial Film (54): The primary objective of the initial "arm-to-kidney" film is to assess for potential ureteral obstructions based on kidney size discrepancies.
-
Nephrogram Exposure Timing (55): The immediate film exposing the nephrogram is taken 10-14 seconds after injection.
-
Renal Artery Stenosis Diagnosis (56): Doppler techniques can diagnose renal artery stenosis using high peak systolic velocities exceeding 200 cm/s.
-
Bladder Volume Calculation (57): Bladder volume in ultrasound is calculated by measuring three bladder diameters pre and post micturition.
-
Renal CT Scan Timing (58): The recommended time for renal CT scan is 30 seconds post contrast to prevent small lesions from being obscured.
-
Retroperitoneal Lymphadenopathy (67): PET-CT scan is commonly used to assess retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.
-
IVU Post Contrast Imaging (69): Various films are taken after injection, including immediate film 10-15s, a 10-min film, and a release film.
-
CT Urogram Thin-Section Scans (70): Thin-section scans during the nephrographic/parenchymal enhancement phase are used to assess renal tract calculus disease, differentiate stones at the Vesicoureteric junction and visualize small tumors.
-
MRI Contraindications (71): Cardiac pacemakers, metallic implants, pregnancy, and contrast allergy are contraindications.
-
Indications of IVU (72): Indications include loin pain, impaired renal function and abdominal pain.
-
Hysterosalpingography Relative Indication (73): Active infection with discharge, pregnancy, recent curettage and menstruation are relative indications.
-
Hysterosalpingography Preparation (74): The procedure is done between the 12th and 17th day of the cycle.
-
Hysterosalpingography Muscle Relaxant (75): Glucagon is used to relax the muscles.
